Mark Anthony's mother said the family will be hosting a haircut benefit at Perfected Talent Salon and Barbershop.

The family and supporters of missing 15-year-old Mark Anthony Ysasaga hope to raise more than $1,000 on Sunday at a haircut benefit to add money to the current reward.

Mark’s mother, Anna Ysasaga-Cuevas, announced at a La Fuerza meeting Thursday night the family will host a haircut benefit at Perfected Talent Salon and Barbershop with all proceeds going toward the Mark Anthony fund.

Janie Ybarra, a friend of the family, wants to raise at least $1,000 at the benefit so they can increase the current reward amount of $2,000.

“When we were out at the car show, kids came up and asked if (the reward) was legit,” Ybarra said during the meeting Thursday. “Somebody knows something. Whether it’s going to take $500 more, I don’t know what it’s going to take.”

Ysasaga-Cuevas said she continues to organize searches and fundraisers in conjunction with La Fuerza — a Hispanic independent voter’s group in Lubbock — in hopes somebody will find her son, who has been missing since June 13 after spending the night with a friend.

Almost two months after the teen’s disappearance, however, Ysasaga-Cuevas said the police haven’t gotten any new promising tips regarding Mark’s whereabouts.

“We know for a fact they’ve gone on every single tip they get,” Ysasaga-Cuevas said about the police. “They’ve pulled in everybody and talked to everybody.”

La Fuerza Director Julian Montoya reminded meeting attendees it might only take a small tip to find out what happened to Mark.

“This case is getting a lot of media attention,” Montoya told the group of about 15, “and that’s what we need. One little tip could blow this thing wide open.”

Ysasaga-Cuevas said she hopes someone will find it in their heart to come forward with information that will lead to Mark.

“If they’re scared to come forward, we’ll figure out a way to take care of them so that way, nothing will happen,” Ysasaga-Cuevas said. “We just want to find him. That’s it.”

No matter how long it takes, Ybarra said, the family and supporters will not stop until Mark is found.

“You’re going to see us. You’re going to see our cards, you’re going to see our fliers, you’re going to see us with our shirts,” Ybarra said. “You’re going to constantly be hearing about us because it’s not going to die. It’s not going to go away.”
